-[Notes from Robert Roebling for snapshot 8]
-
-This is a not-so-well tested snapshot release of wxWindows 2.1 for
-Microsoft Windows 95, 98 and NT. This is not a production release,
-although a huge number of bugs found in wxWindows 2.0 have been
-fixed.
-
-There have not been major changes in the way to build the library,
-although the creation of the various makefiles has been automatized.

Unarchiving
-----------
-If there is a setup program, run the setup program that comes with the Windows version.
-Do not install into a path that contains spaces. The installation program should set the
-WXWIN environment variable, which will be activated when your machine is rebooted.
-
-If there is no setup program, it will come as a series of .zip
-files:
-
-wx200gen.zip Generic source code and samples (required)
-wx200msw.zip Windows-specific source code and samples (required)
-wx200doc.zip Documentation source code (not required)
-wx200hlp.zip WinHelp documentation
-wx200pdf.zip Acrobat PDF documentation
-wx200htm.zip HTML documentation
-wx200vc.zip MS VC++ 5.0 project files
-wx200cw.zip Metrowerks CodeWarrior project files
-wx200bc.zip BC++ 5 project files
+A setup program is provided (setup.exe) to automatically copy files to a
+directory on your hard disk. Do not install into a path that contains spaces.
+The installation program should set the WXWIN environment variable, which
+will be activated when your machine is rebooted. The setup
+program contains the following:

Compilation
-----------
The following sections explain how to compile wxWindows with each supported
compiler.
-Visual C++ 4.0/5.0/6.0 compilation
-----------------------------------
+Visual C++ 6.0 compilation
+---------------------------
-Using project files:
-
-1. Unarchive wx200vc.zip, the VC++ 5 project makefiles.
-2. Open src/wxvc.dsp, set Debug or Release configuration, and
- compile. This will produce src/Debug/wxvc.lib or
- src/Release/wxvc.lib. The project file src/wxvc_dll.dsp
- will make a DLL version of wxWindow, which will go in
- src/DebugDLL/wxvc.[lib,dll] and src/ReleaseDLL/wxvc.[lib,dll].
-3. If you want to use JPEG in your application (such as the image
- sample), open src/jpeg/jpeg.dsp (VC++ 6 only) and compile in
- Debug and Release configurations. If you have VC++ 5 or
- earlier, use makefile.vc, but you may only have one set of object
- files at a time in use (debug or release).
-4. Open a sample project file, choose a configuration, and compile.
- The project files don't use precompiled headers, to save
+Using project files (VC++ 6 only):
+
+1. Unarchive wxWindows-x.y.z-vc.zip, the VC++ 6 project
+ makefiles (already included in wxMSW-x.y.z.zip and the setup version).
+2. Open src/wxWindows.dsp, which has configurations for static
+ compilation or DLL compilation, and each of these available in
+ Unicode/ANSI and Debug/Release variations. Normally you'll use
+ a static linking ANSI configuration. Choose the Win32 Debug or
+ Win32 Release configuration for the wxWindows project, and compile.
+ Alternatively, use Batch Build to build more than one
+ configuration.
+ The following libraries will be produced depending on chosen
+ configuration:
+
+ wxmsw.lib wxmswd.lib ; ANSI Release/Debug
+ wxmswu.lib wxmswud.lib ; UNICODE Release/Debug
+ wxmsw23x.lib wxmsw23xd.lib ; ANSI DLL Release/Debug
+ wxmsw23xu.lib wxmsw23xud.lib ; UNICODE DLL Release/Debug
+
+ It will also produce similar variations on jpeg.lib, png.lib,
+ tiff.lib, zlib.lib, and regex.lib.
+3. Open a sample project file, choose a configuration such as
+ Win32 Debug using Build | Set Active Configuration..., and compile.
+ The project files don't use precompiled headers, to save disk
space, but you can switch PCH compiling on for greater speed.
+ NOTE: you may also use samples/samples.dsw to access all
+ sample projects without opening each workspace individually.
+ You can use the Batch Build facility to make several samples
+ at a time.
Using makefiles:
1. Make sure your WXWIN variable is set.
-2. Change directory to wx\src\msw. Type:
+2. If you do NOT have the TIFF or JPEG source code, please remove
+ the tiff and jpeg targets from the 'all' target in
+ src\msw\makefile.vc. Also ensure the settings in
+ include\wx\msw\setup.h specify not to use JPEG or TIFF.
+3. Change directory to wx\src\msw. Type:
'nmake -f makefile.vc'
to make the wxWindows core library with debug information
- (wx\lib\wx_d.lib), or
+ (wx\lib\wxd.lib), then
+ 'nmake -f makefile.vc cleanall FINAL=1'
'nmake -f makefile.vc FINAL=1'
- to make the wxWindows core library without debug information

+ Use the 'cleanall' target to clean all objects, libraries and
executables.
To build the release version using makefiles, add FINAL=1 to your
nmake invocation, both when building the library and for samples.
+ You MUST use the 'cleanall' target (with FINAL=1 or FINAL=0)
+ before making a different configuration, because otherwise
+ object files used to build the previous configuration may be
+ used accidentally for the current configuation. You might see
+ this manifested in unexpected link errors or warnings. This problem
+ doesn't occur when using project files to build wxWindows.
+
+ To build Unicode versions of the libraries, add UNICODE=1
+ to the nmake invocation ( default is UNICODE=0 ).
Note that the wxWindows core library allows you to have debug
and release libraries available simultaneously, by compiling the
objects in different subdirectories, whereas samples must be

To build the DLL version using makefiles:
1. Change directory to wx\src\msw. Type 'nmake -f makefile.vc dll pch'
to make both a suitable DLL and import library, and to build a
suitable precompiled header file for compiling applications.
- The resulting libraries are called:
-
- wx\lib\wx200_d.lib(dll) (debug version)
- wx\lib\wx200.lib(dll) (release version, using FINAL=1)
-

2. Invoke a sample makefile with 'nmake -f makefile.vc WXUSINGDLL=1'
(or edit src\makeprog.vc to set WXUSINGDLL to 1 for all
applications).

-project files are unlikely to be compatible, so use one method or
-the other.
+project files are now (hopefully) compatible where static libraries
+are concerned, but please exercise caution nevertheless and if
+possible, use one method or the other.

+deleting an object Dialog Editor, in Release mode with optimizations
+on. If in doubt, switch off optimisations, although this will result in much
larger executables. It seems possible that the library can be created with
strong optimization, so long as the application is not strongly
optimized. For example, in wxWindows project, set to 'Minimum
symbols, struct packing, etc. are exactly the same for all items in
the project. After this, delete everything (including PCH) and recompile.
-Visual C++ 1.5 compilation
---------------------------
+Note (5): to create your own IDE files, see the technical note on the
+wxWindows web site or CD-ROM, entitled "Compiling wxWindows
+applications in the VC++ IDE" (technical note docs/tech/tn0010.htm in the
+wxWindows distribution). You can also copy .dsp and .dsw
+files from an existing wxWindows sample and adapt them.
+
+Visual C++ 1.5 compilation (16-bit)
+-----------------------------------
+
+NOTE: this has not been tested recently and probably doesn't
+work.
1. Make sure your WXWIN variable is set, and uses the FAT (short
name) form.
Use the 'clean' target to clean all objects, libraries and
executables.
-Borland C++ 4.5/5.0 compilation
+Borland C++ 4.5/5.0/5.5 compilation
-------------------------------
Compiling using the makefiles:
-1. Make sure your WXWIN variable is set, and uses the FAT (short
- name) form if doing a 16-bit compile.
+0. If downloading from CVS, copy include\wx\msw\setup0.h to
+ include\wx\setup.h.
+1. Make sure your WXWIN variable is set [e.g add
+ set WXWIN=c:\wxwindows
+ to your autoexec.bat file], and that it uses the FAT (short
+ name) form with no spaces.
+ Make sure your BCCDIR variable is set [e.g add
+ set BCCDIR=c:\progra~1\borland\bcc
+ to your autoexec.bat file], and that it points to the root directory of
+ your Borland C++ installation, and it uses the FAT (short
+ name) form with no spaces.
+ Reboot if needed for the changes to autoexec.bat to take effect.
2. Change directory to wx\src\msw. Type 'make -f makefile.b32' to
make the wxWindows core library. Ignore the warnings about
'XXX' not found in library.
-3. Change directory to a sample such as minimal, and type
+3. Change directory to a sample or demo such as samples\minimal, and type
'make -f makefile.b32'.
4. For release versions, recompile wxWindows and samples using
'make -f makefile.b32 clean'
'make -f makefile.b32 FINAL=1'
for the library and samples.
+5. To make and use wxWindows as a DLL, type
+ 'make -f makefile.b32 clean'
+ 'make -f makefile.b32 DLL=1'
+ and then for each sample,
+ 'make -f makefile.b32 WXUSINGDLL=1'
+ Please note that the samples have not been exhaustively tested
+ with this configuration.
-Note: the wxWindows library and (some) samples compile in 16-bit mode
+Note (1): the wxWindows library and (some) samples compile in 16-bit mode
using makefile.bcc, but at present the wxWindows resource system is switched
off in this mode. See issues.txt for details.
-Compiling using the IDE files:
+Note (2): unfortunately most samples won't link in 16-bit mode,
+because the automatic data segment exceeds 64K. The minimal
+sample links and runs, however.
+
+Note (3): the wxWindows makefiles assume byte structure alignment. Please
+make sure that your own project or makefile settings use the
+same alignment, or you could experience mysterious crashes. To
+change the alignment, add a suitable option to the $(CFG) target code
+in src/msw/makefile.b32.
+
+Note (4): if you get undefined _SQL... symbols at link time,
+either install odbc32.lib from the BC++ CD-ROM into your BC++ lib
+directory, or set wxUSE_ODBC to 0 in include\wx\msw\setup.h and
+recompile wxWindows. The same applies if compiling using the IDE.
+
+Note (5): BC++ 4.5 (not 5.0) trips up over jdmerge.c in the JPEG folder;
+you will therefore need to set wxUSE_LIBJPEG to 0 in setup.h and remove
+the jpeg target from src\msw\makefile.b32, and remove jpeg from
+src\makeprog.b32.
-1. Load src\bc32.ide (or src\bc32d.ide for a debugging version).
+Note (6): [obsolete]
+
+Note (7): If you wish debug messages to be sent to the console in
+debug mode, edit src\makeb32.env and change /aa to /Tpe in
+LINK_FLAGS.
+
+Compiling using the IDE files: [Borland C++ 5.0, not Cbuilder]
+
+1. Load src\bc32.ide (Release settings)
2. Go to Options|Project... and specify the correct BC++ include and lib path for
your file structure.
3. Press F9 to compile the wxWindows library.
4. Load samples\bc32.ide.
5. Go to Options|Project... and specify the correct BC++ include and lib path for
your file structure.
-6. Press F9 to compile the samples.
+6. Press F9 to compile the samples (build each node separately if
+ you prefer, by right clicking and choose Build Node).
+7. Run each sample: you may need to run from each sample's directory
+ since some (notably the wxHTML samples) look for files
+ relative to the working directory.
-Note that to make the png, xpm and zlib libraries (needed for
-some samples) you need to compile with bc32.ide. bc32d.ide only
-makes the wxWindows library (lib\wx32d.lib).
+Note (1): the samples project file contains a selection of
+samples, and not all samples. The remaining samples can be made
+with the makefiles. See also the demos hierarchy which doesn't
+have any BC++ project files yet.
-The debug version of the wxWindows library is about 37 MB, and the
-release version is around 3 MB.

of how to create your own project files.
-Borland C++Builder compilation
+** REMEMBER **
+
+In all of your wxWindows applications, your source code should include
+the following preprocessor directive:
+
+#ifdef __BORLANDC__
+#pragma hdrstop
+#endif
+
+(check the samples -- e.g., \wx2\samples\minimal\minimal.cpp -- for
+more details)
+
+Borland C++Builder IDE compilation
------------------------------
-C++Builder compilation is the same as for Borland C++ above.
+1. Build the wxWindows libraries using the Borland make utility as
+ specified in the section called "Borland C++ 4.5/5.0 compilation"
+ above. (C++ Builder includes a stand-alone C++ compiler. For example,
+ C++ Builder 4.0 comes with C++ 5.4.)
-Tested with C++Builder 1.0 and 3.0. Only makefiles are currently
-supplied.
+2. You can build samples using the makefiles as per the
+ instructions for BC++ above, or you can follow the instructions
+ in docs/tech/tn0004.htm or http://biolpc22.york.ac.uk/wx/bc/ide.html.
+ You can use the process_sample_bcb.bat command which is in
+ wxwindows\distrib\msw to generate a .mak or .bpr file for most of the
+ samples [mak for Cbuilder 1-3; bpr for v4]. Execute this in the sample
+ directory, passing the name of the cpp files on the command line.

+3. Change directory to wx\samples\minimal and type 'wmake -f makefile.wat all'
+ to make this sample. Repeat for other samples of interest.
+
+Note (1): makewat.env uses the odbc32.lib supplied in wxWindows' lib\watcom
+directory. See the notes in that directory.
+Note (2): if variant.cpp is compiled with date/time class
+options, the linker gives up. So the date/time option is switched
+off for Watcom C++. Also, wxAutomationObject is not compiled with
+Watcom C++.
+Note (3): if Watcom can't read the precompiled header when
+building a sample, try deleting src\msw\watcom.pch and
